TMLR has faced a deluge of submissions, necessitating stricter desk rejection policies due to limited reviewer capacity
Co-EiC Nihar Shah reached out to authors of 10 papers slated for desk reject. Could they answer questions about their *own* submission?

Spoilers: all 10 ended up being desk rejected.
- 1 paper withdrawn
- 1 author was too busy for a call
- 1 author no-showed
- Authors of 3 papers couldn't answer basic qs
- Authors of 3 papers could, but not technical qs
- 1 author answered all qs, but paper had a major flaw

Starting September 1, 2026, TMLR will no longer be considering survey papers for review. This is in part due to limited reviewer resources and significant required labour for reviewing surveys, as well as the evolving role of surveys in our field.

TMLR has been facing an significant uptick in the number of submissions since the start of the year. This is placing an extreme burden on our amazing team of reviewers and action editors.
To ease this burden, TMLR will be implementing submission quotas, effective July 1. 1/n

Members of our editorial team, including AEs and reviewers, enjoy doubled quotas. You can self-nominate to be an AE or a reviewer, see our FAQ: jmlr.org/tmlr/faq.html 4/n

More details in our post: medium.com/@TmlrOrg/annual-a…
We understand this will (by design!) prevent submissions that authors would have liked to undergo review. But strong measures (this is one of several) are necessary to protect our valuable and human team of reviewers and AEs. 5/5
